Abstract

A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with early gastric cancer and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Preoperative administration of prednisolone increased the platelet cell count from 2.0•104/mm3 to 10.3×104/mm3. He underwent distal gastrectomy and splenectomy. Cardiac branches from the left gastric artery and the splenic artery were conserved.<br> The postoperative course was uneventful. He is alive without tumor recurrence, and the platelet cell count remains normal four years after surgery. We wish to stress the importance of conserving the blood flow to the remnant stomach.
